Brand: [Clarins](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/brands/clarins)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for combination skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate firming and plumping for your neck and décolleté due to Anigozanthos Flavidus Extract and Mitracarpus Scaber Extract, but the inclusion of glycerin and coconut oil may worsen oily shine on your combination skin.
- While the product provides general hydration, it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on the oily zones of your combination skin.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this cream for its luxurious, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly, leaving the delicate neck and décolleté area feeling immediately smoother and more hydrated. While many report visible improvements in skin firmness and a reduction in "crepey" texture over time, a minority of users feel the high price point is not justified by the subtle results.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Extra-Firming Neck & Décolleté Cream a weak match for combination skin?

This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because ingredients like glycerin and coconut oil may worsen oily shine while lacking sufficient oil control. A product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that align with reducing oily shine without risk of irritation.

### Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for combination skin?

Glycerin and coconut oil make this cream a weak match because they may worsen oily shine on your combination skin. A product for this skin needs effective oil control ingredients that reduce shine while providing balanced moisture.

### What does Kangaroo Flower Extract do for combination skin?

Kangaroo Flower Extract is generally safe to use on combination skin, helping to keep it balanced and looking fresh. It is unlikely to cause irritation, though results may vary depending on your individual skin sensitivity and how your skin reacts to plant extracts.

### What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for combination skin?

Butyrospermum parkii butter helps keep combination skin soft and smooth while supporting the skin barrier. This ingredient is generally well tolerated, though a product for this skin type also needs lightweight hydration to balance oilier zones without clogging pores.

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This cream is a rich body care product that is a weak match for combination skin because ingredients like glycerin and coconut oil may worsen oily shine. Combination skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients to hydrate dry areas while keeping oil in check.

### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol treatment first and following with this moisturizer once it absorbs. Because your skin is combination, this type of product needs added oil-control ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep your oily zones balanced without extra shine.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because glycerin and coconut oil may worsen oily shine. A product for this skin type needs oil-controlling ingredients to balance hydration without adding grease.

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This cream may worsen oily shine and clog pores on combination skin because ingredients like glycerin and coconut oil can be too heavy for oily zones. A product for this skin needs lighter hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients to keep pores clear.

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
